a <a href="qaction.html">QAction</a> is added, removed, or
changed.</p>
<p>Actions can be added to widgets using <a href="qwidget.html#addAction">QWidget.addAction</a>(). This generates
an <a href="qevent.html#Type-enum">ActionAdded</a> event, which you
can handle to provide custom behavior. For example, <a href="qtoolbar.html">QToolBar</a> reimplements <a href="qwidget.html#actionEvent">QWidget.actionEvent</a>() to create
<a href="qtoolbutton.html">QToolButton</a>s for the actions.</p>
<hr /><h2>Method Documentation</h2><h3 class="fn"><a name="QActionEvent" />QActionEvent.__init__ (<i>self</i>, int&#160;<i>type</i>, <a href="qaction.html">QAction</a>&#160;<i>action</i>, <a href="qaction.html">QAction</a>&#160;<i>before</i>&#160;=&#160;None)</h3><p>Constructs an action event. The <i>type</i> can be <a href="qevent.html#Type-enum">ActionChanged</a>, <a href="qevent.html#Type-enum">ActionAdded</a>, or <a href="qevent.html#Type-enum">ActionRemoved</a>.</p>
<p><i>action</i> is the action that is changed, added, or removed.
If <i>type</i> is <a href="qevent.html#Type-enum">ActionAdded</a>,
the action is to be inserted before the action <i>before</i>. If
<i>before</i> is 0, the action is appended.</p>


<h3 class="fn"><a name="QActionEvent-2" />QActionEvent.__init__ (<i>self</i>, <a href="qactionevent.html">QActionEvent</a>)</h3><h3 class="fn"><a name="action" /><a href="qaction.html">QAction</a> QActionEvent.action (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns the action that is changed, added, or removed.</p>
<p><b>See also</b> <a href="qactionevent.html#before">before</a>().</p>


<h3 class="fn"><a name="before" /><a href="qaction.html">QAction</a> QActionEvent.before (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>If <a href="qevent.html#type">type</a>() is <a href="qevent.html#Type-enum">ActionAdded</a>, returns the action that
should appear before <a href="qactionevent.html#action">action</a>(). If this function returns
0, the action should be appended to already existing actions on the
same widget.</p>
